Brother has a solution for your specific printer [actually two solutions, depending on whether you're printing from a mobile device]. See the top two links at https://support.brother.com/g/b/faqcategory.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=mfc290c_all&ftype2=176.

If the issue persists or if you require further advice--or if these instructions don't seem to apply to your model--you'll have to consult the company. (Use the contact information at https://www.contacthelp.com/brother/customer-service.)
